1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

This chapter provides a brief overview about micronuclei and their postmitotic fate. Micronuclei are small chromatin-containing bodies formed during mitosis and located in the cytoplasm. Micronuclei have been known for more than 100 years and used as biomarkers for decades, but their fate after formation and with that their biological relevance for the organism has only been addressed in recent years. Four major fates of micronuclei are known: extrusion, reincorporation, degradation, and persistence. Generally, most micronuclei persist without any changes. Around one quarter of the micronuclei are reincorporated into the main nucleus during one of the next mitoses. Degradation and extrusion only occur rarely under special circumstances. Mechanistic backgrounds are still not well understood.
